This time of year makes a person think about being grateful for the nice things he or she has in life. But why only this time of year? Why not give thanks on a daily basis for just being alive? Gratitude should not be limited to a special occasion. It’s nice to reflect on what we have and our surroundings and respond generously to those who are not as fortunate. What are your views? Are you the kind of person that shows his gratitude frequently? Or do you only take time out for this when it is required? How do you respond? ~~LMM
